It was 26th January – the Republic day of India and we were all glued to the Idiot box (not so idiot always I would say \ud83d\ude42 ) watching the republic day parade and the procession from the various states showcasing their culture and tradition. “Why are the Punjabis wearing a turban?”, asked my Li’l princess. “Well India is a country of diverse culture and every state has its own traditional dress”, I replied. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
